Your child's special Key Person
We understand that starting a new nursery can be an anxious time for parents too and are here to support you and answer any questions you may have. Whilst in our care your child will have a special KEY PERSON.
The Key person will undertake observations, input information onto the Famly app and ensure that your child continues to enjoy their time within nursery. They will also be a point of contact for you when you have questions / need to discuss any areas of your child’s day with us. Parent Partnership is especially important to us, please ask about our special Key Person bags. We hope you and your child really enjoy them!
